While the cocktail lounge fad has seen more than a few musicians climb aboard as a career move, the members of Pink Martini are no bandwagon-riding aficionados. Fronted by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini is the real article--a band that approaches the music with unwavering seriousness yet never forgets the fun at the heart of it. Sympathique, the band's debut album reveals an incredibly diverse musical vocabulary on the part of frontman Lauderdale. And what singer China Forbes lacks in range and dynamics, she more than compensates for in attack, approach, and a clear understanding of the material. While most of the songs are upbeat, in the hands of Lauderdale and Forbes, "Que sera sera," with its dark atmospherics should be rechristened "Que sera noir." --Wayne Pernu

Fun gift October 25, 2008
I heard this CD at a friend's home and enjoyed it. My husband ordered it for me. I was very suprised with his gift and enjoy listening to the music while driving home from work. Every song is a musical treat.
Pink Martini is Fantastic August 29, 2008
I love this CD! I am not a musician but can appreciate all the work that went into this music. The music is incredible, the lyrics wonderful and China Forbes voice is flawless! The varied influences and languages make this a great collection.
Funky and fun June 19, 2008
Loved "Sympathique" by Pink Martini...50's music cocktail music with a modern twist. Pink Martini presents a multi-lingual approach with fabulous voices, and great instrumentals. You've got to hear their version of "Que Sera Sera"....
 Really good music June 15, 2008
This is a very good album -- not generally my type of music (jazz), but this is really good. China Forbes' voice is beautiful.
Pink Martini is fantastic June 15, 2008
Learned about this group on NPR -- of course -- and they are fabulous. Lead singer China Forbes is astounding, and the "little orchestra" is -- well, just enjoy -- trust me, you'll get every one of their albums, which we hope, will come much more frequently!!! Bravo!
